Previously, "I'm So Appalled" was reported to be a collaboration with Kanye West for Dirty Money's "Last Train to Paris."

Today, as part of his weekly "GOOD Friday" music release, West released "So Appalled" for free download featuring RZA, Jay-Z, Pusha T, Swizz Beatz and Cyhi the Prince.

At this stage, it's unclear if the record was really a collaboration with Diddy or not and if so, how close to the potential collaboration that this finished record really is.

Aasim mentioned on Twitter that "Feel Stronger," his street single for his "The Money Pit, Part 2" mixtape, was produced by Akos and that the mixtape itself will be hosted by DJ Self.

On Twitter, Aasim announced that he would release a new mixtape, the "We Invented the Remix" mixtape." In the tweet, he mentioned that it would be released prior to his previously announced "The Money Pit, Part 2" mixtape, which is set for an October 4 release.

Veteran entertainment attorney Reggie Osse, also known as Combat Jack, spoke with Complex, sharing some behind the scenes stories tied to some classic hip-hop records (mostly in the 90s). The whole thing is worth a read, but there is a lot of Bad Boy related details in there and I wanted to highlight them.

You'll want to check out his blurbs on "Who Shot Ya," "Player's Anthem," "Hit 'Em Up," "Brooklyn's Finest," "Ain't No N****," "T.O.N.Y. (Top of New York)," "Hypnotize," "We'll Always Love Big Poppa," "How to Rob," "Hate Me Now," "I Dare You" and "Bad Boyz."

Osse discusses the tragic Bad Boy/Death Row feud, insisting neither Biggie's "Who Shot Ya?" nor Junior M.A.F.I.A.'s "Player's Anthem" were intended to cause such a reaction from 2Pac. "We had no clue Tupac would take this song as a major diss," he says. "We had no clue that 'Pac would soon join ranks with crazy a** Suge Knight and Death Row and use this record as motivation to bomb first. We had no clue this record would later, indirectly, lead to the deaths of not only Tupac, but our man Christopher Wallace."
